I first saw it growing in Sean Hogan's front garden and was blown away: Some plants are simply too luscious to describe. I've written about it, but your detail pic captures it best!<br />I'll be in Portland soon so I'm crafting a full-on itinerary. Hoping to see new places/landscapes/foodie haunts/et al.<br />If you have any secrets or favs, DG, please visit BayAreaTendrils and link to my email.

I would like everyone to be able to read my blog at their work place during lunches (which is when I read most blogs) and not have the site blocked for certain words.

That is kinda scary and funny, I'm sure the rest of the world picked up on the fact that it was a rose right away. Me nope.<br /><br />Jane, I've heard laurel horror stories! I have a friend who is talking about reproducing old CMU patterns, could be cheaper for you if she actually does it! This weekends weather was wonderful and it looks like we might hang on to it over the holiday, although warmer. Love it!<br /><br />Karen, the other thing about this garden was that the lawn was very sculpted so that there were like 8 squid legs, each one had TALL grasses (zebra grass, others as tall) on each side so the kids could run and hide. I couldn't get a good picture of it. They also had an old wash barrel that was full of water with little boats in it. Cute but it looked more like a designers idea of kids playing than the real thing. My husband thought the monk head was by Ferrow, but we couldn't find anything on it online. The antique lighting company where we worked together years ago had a huge light fixture with those faces all the way around it, it was an antique VERY cool.<br /><br />Megan, I really wanted to go last year but we had guests that are not garden inclined. This year different guests that were so inclined, so it all worked out. I don't know if I'll do it again next year. I think it's so funny that I've fallen for a rose...crazy. I like the Chapel Pub expect they don't have a pizza oven so I can't get my fav McMenamins meal!<br /><br />Pam, I read your answer and it makes me feel a little better. I do not have irrigation so I can appreciate the allowances. I do know people who live in condo communities here and they have to disconnect the auto irrigation because it is to intense and waters too much! That is just wrong.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-30944799487411910292009-06-29T20:18:28.332-07:002009-06-29T20:18:28.332-07:00I don't know what any of your mystery plants a...I don't know what any of your mystery plants are, but the tour must have been fun.

I saw the notice about it, but seemed like a lot of trouble. I love the wingthorn rose, although sometimes they get messy looking. I'm not sure what the conifer is, but I like it.

Looks like it could add some spicy hot color to the Danger Garden! I love all of these takes but looked particularly closely at the kid garden, since I'm working on one at the moment but kind of stuck. Nasturtiums seem like they could get squashed by little feet - maybe the kids know to stay on the sand pit level? The netting is a great idea - I have been using coffee bags and it's kind of a funky/trashy look. I've seen that wacky monk head thing before, I forget the company that makes them - saw it in a Craftsman Bungalow mag or something similar. I wanted their owl doorbell but it was $50 years ago - too spendy for me! Nice tour, can't wait to see more.Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-25997109589849641932009-06-29T15:29:13.959-07:002009-06-29T15:29:13.959-07:00I know about keeping laurel in check.

It would certainly give you a template for the thickness.<br />That little evergreen is sweet but I have no idea what it is either.<br />I love that older CMU wall...so fifties! I wanted to put in a fancy CMU garden wall for privacy but I found out it was prohibitively expensive for us to have done. <br />I'll look forward to the rest of the pictures tomorrow - wasn't it just the perfect weekend for any kind of outdoor tour, hike, lounging, whatever?!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-15326026691970340452009-06-29T13:50:52.401-07:002009-06-29T13:50:52.401-07:00that mystery plant is a rose, rosa sericea. it giv...that mystery plant is a rose, rosa sericea. it gives off this glowing jolly rancher effect if you get the sun to hit it right (sunset, sunrise backlighting).eeldiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241215073913298993noreply@blogger.com
